The Pokemon Adventure: Johto Region

[Wolfwhispers]

Jade wore an excited grin as she trudged onto Route 30. She had just healed Larvitar and was ready to meet a challenge. Eyes wandering as she jumped over a few fallen branches near a tree, small twittering noises caught her ear. Looking up, she noticed some shadows in the tree. With a grin, she pulled out her pokeball.

"Come on out, Larvitar," she called, watching the ground type maerialize.

"Larv," Larvitar said cheerfully, looking up at Jade for instruction.

"Larvitar, I want you to bash into this tree to knock out whatever pokemon is in that tree. Your hard head should be good enough."

Larvitar nodded and moved to face the semi thicj tree. With a determined expression, Larvitar charged. "Larv!" Larvitar called, bashing into the tree hard enough to shake it.

Angry screeches came from the tree as the pokemon fell. It was as if a purple cloud of pokemon came crashing down, catching themselves in the air. They were Zubat! They all screeched in anger, flying off in search of a new perch. One Zubat, however, hovered above Jade, away from the others. It pumped its wings slowly, showing a hidden strength in its grace as it hovered there, somehow glaring without eyes. Jade brought out her pokedex.

Zubat, the bat pokemon. Even though it has no eyes, it can sense pokemon by sending ultrasonic waves from its mouth. Females tend to have smaller teeth while the males have larger ones to defend their mate and home.

Jen looked up, noticing this one had large teeth and was obviously a boy. "Zub!" it screeched, flying at Larvitar, mouth wide open and teeth gleaming.

"Dodge it!" Jade said quickly.

"Larv!" Larvitar rolled to the side, quickly getting to its feet as Zubat made a circle in the air, flying back with even more speed.

"Larvitar, use Sandstorm!" Jade ordered, watching the Zubat prepare another Leech Life.

With an angry glare, Larvitar lowered its horn, sending a blast of hard sand towards the irritated bat. "Zubat!" Zubat snarled, evading the attack with a flap of its wings. Grinning, Zubat latched onto Larvitar, startling the ground type, and began to suck the energy out of Larvitar.

"Lar! Lar! Lar!" Larvitar screamed in fear, trying to knock the pokemon off of its head.

"Try another Sandstorm, but aim around your head!" Jade said quickly, watching as her pokemon lost energy.

"Var!" Larvitar growled, sending the harsh sand around its head. With a grin, Larvitar hears ZUbat give a screech and fly away, the Sandstorm surrounding the bat and causing i pain even as it flew back aways.

"Zub," Zubat said lowly, wincing from the pain. "Zub!" it cried, flying at Larvitar for another Leech Life.

"Stop it Bite!" Jade ordered. "Show that bat who has the tougher teeth!"

"Var!" Larvitar said enthusiastically, jumping into the air and Biting down on Zubat's wing and shaking it furiously.

"Zub!" Zubat snarled, attempting to whack Larvitar with its wing. Seeing it wasn't working and all it recieved was more damage on its other wing, Zubat chomped down on Larvitar's head.

"Tar!" Larvitar squeaked in surprise, immediately spitting the pokemon out of its mouth.

"Zub," Zubat said in disgust, trying to gain air with its saliva soaked wing before wincing from the Sandstorm that still surrounded it.

"Finish it with another Bite!" Jade called with excitement, seeing the flying type weaken.

"Larvia!" Larvitar called, launching itself at the pokemon once more.

"Zub!" Zubat growled, attempting to get away. It was too slow thanks to the saliva soaked wing and was once again caught in Larvitar's mouth, though this time the ground type caught the bat on its small body. "Zuuu!" Zubat screamed as Larvitar crunched down hard, causing much damage. "Bat," Zubat said angrily, struggling to get out or Larvitar's grip. It's strength was slowly leaving it, allowing Larvitar to drop the bat to the ground fearlessly and stand over it.

"Good job, Larvitar," Jade said, pulling out a pokeball. "But I've got it here. Go, pokeball!" And with that, she threw the ball at the fallen pokemon, watching it turn into red light and get sucked inside before the pokeball began to shake...

Chapter 5: Elm's Mission, and Togepi!

Chris walked into the grass, sighing. "I miss my old team... especially Dragonair. He would get me out of the tightest jams." Said Chris before hearing a rustle in the bushes. Chris ducked into the grass and peeked out, seeing a Chickorita. "Heh, this will be a piece of cake." Chris tossed a pokeball, but a sharp beep caused him to miss and the ball fell into the water, alerting the Chickorita, and making it run away. "This better be important."

Chris took out his pokegear and saw that there was a mssage on it. 'My associate Mr. Pokemon has something I need you to check out, please don't respond to this message, as I have to contact the others.'

"Hmm... well, this will be interesting... he wants someone to check it out... maybe this will be the time I can get something before that punk who got Kyle's pokeflute before I could." Said Chris before walking towards where Mr. Pokemon's house was.

(?)

Elsewhere, a great evil was finally returning... let me give you a hint... he supposedly died by falling off of a cliff. Yes, it was Drake Landis, one of the more evil people Chris ever fought.

"Hahah! I'm back! And I want revenge!" Laughed Drake as he moved about weird. Suddenly, some sort of weird... shadowy thing was seen behind him.

"Yes... you want revenge, for the man who nearly beat you." Said the shadow enticingly. "Crave revenge, seek it. Take vengance on whatever opponent beat you, and I shall reveal the thing you want to hear."

"Yes, I will kill him... Kill, kill, KILL!!" Laughed Drake, insanely. People around him looked at him weirdly. "HahahaHA!" And in an an out of character fashion, he staggered towards Route 30.

'Hmhmhm, luckily that fool doesn't know that I have corroded his mind. Now we shall see if the brother of Fredrick Evans is any sort of good." Said the shadow as it disappeared.

(ooc: The shadow isn't a legendary, but it is a ghost pokemon from one of the first two Generations)

(Chris)

Chris looked down the path and saw a wooden house, with some sattelites sticking out of the top. "Well, this guy must like his TV." Said Chris as he walked up to the house. He knocked on the door. "Hello? Is a Mr. Pokemon in there?"

"Go away! I don't want any trouble!" Yelled an old man from inside the house. Chris sighed before knocking again, using the universal morse code. The door cracked open and a man peeked out. "Are you one of those CAA members?"

"Dude, that was twelve years ago. Please, just open up." Said Chris. The man unbolted his door and opened it completely. "Thank you." And with that, Mr. Pokemon dragged Chris in before bolting the doors shut.

"Please, make yourself at home. You must be that little errand boy that Elm sent over... lazy *bleep*." Said Mr. Pokemon obviously insulted. Chris sighed, as this was a sign that today was going to be horrible. "Anyway, this is a special egg... I was given it by the day care people."

"Uhh... yeah." Said Chris, weirded out by Mr. Pokemon. "Can I see the egg?" Mr. Pokemon turned around to analyze him. "Umm... hello?"

"You have an aura of good luck about you! I shall give you the egg! Maybe you'll take good care of it!" Said Mr. Pokemon as he tossed the egg over to Chris, who was barely able to catch it.

"Uhh... yeah. Thanks?" Asked Chris, as he went to grab the incubator that Mr. Pokemon had neglected to store the egg in, but as he grabbed it, the egg gave off a glow. "It's hatching!" And after a minute, a small pokemon with most of it's egg around it was seen. Mr. Pokemon seemed to be pleased with this as he started taking notes.

"Amazing! It appears that Pokemon are born from eggs! I must let Elm know!" Yelled Mr. Pokemon.

"What!? That is common knowledge! Of course pokemon are born from eggs!" Yelled Chris as he got his pokegear out. He dialed Elm's nember and waited for Elm to pick up. "Hello? Yeah, I'm at Mr. Pokemon's... yeah, I got the egg... yeah, but the thing is, it seems to have hatched... and taken a liking to me... Don't scream in my ear!... Okay, I'll see you later... bye." Chris then backed up before running out of Mr. Pokemon's house, both him and Togepi weirded out by the stares they were recieving.

(5 min. later)

Chris set Togepi down to examine it. "Well, you seem to be a female, but let's see... hmm, well. THis will be hard to tell your ability, but you seem to be like me, but I'm not sure... and hmm... well, we will find out what ability you have later." Said Chris as the Togepi just stared at him.

"Okay, that is seriously creeping me out." Said Chris as he tapped Togepi with a pokeball, catching it.

(ooc: Hopefully that is okay... I'm not exactly sure of how it was supposed to go, but I think I did it right.

Togepi fill out:
Gender: Female'
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Rash)

Can I still come in?

I swear, I have no idea why some of this text is a different color.

Character Name: Raven Wulfgar

Gender: Female

Age: 12

Appearance: Raven is a rather short twelve-year-old, being only four feet three inches tall. She has a slim build, however, making her seem slightly taller than she really is. Her eyes are a very dark brown, almost black, and are small, like a bird's. Her hair is long, going almost down to her waist. It's very straight, and goes in almost a direct line. Raven's hair is jet black, which is mostly why she was named Raven in the first place. Her arms are long, but her hands are small. Raven wears a smoky gray shirt with sleeves that are so long, they reach her wrists. The remaining portion of her arms that is not covered, she wears thin black gloves over. She has short legs, which is the cause of most of her short-ness. Her feet are small also, which gives her a bit of a problem with her balance. Raven wears black pants with a light gray stripe down the side of each leg, but the pants stop at her ankles. The rest of her foot is covered by either white socks, which are the only things light on her besides her skin, or black running shoes that are slip-ons, with no laces.


Personality: Raven is apathetic, not really caring much about anything but her Pokemon. She's bold and never really thinks before entering something that's probably either deep trouble or none of her business. She's also easily suspicious of those she doesn't know about, not really trusting anyone unless they're friends with her, which is pretty much the hardest thing to do. Raven can be hostile much of the time, and usually ignores or is rude to others if she feels like it. She also has a short temper, and is fierce when she loses the small amount of patience that she does have. She's good at arguing and usually hopes to win by using logic. However, she's a good battler with Pokemon because she uses strategy instead of strength. Her favorite way to take advantage of her opponent is by using type advantages. Raven enjoys challenging herself, and if she ever had a chance to go to the Battle Tower in Hoenn, she would probably choose Pokemon of all the same type, just to see what happens. She especially likes Dark and Flying-type Pokemon because of her name, but Grass is a good one, too, she thinks. Raven can be ambitious, and hates losing. She likes reading and writing a lot, and always carries around a small notebook in which to jot ideas for stories down.


History: Raven was born on December 21st, on one of the the darkest nights of the year: the beginning of winter, at about 11:00 PM. She enjoys celebrating her exact birthday, and thus stays up late every December 21st just so she "doesn't miss her birthday." She has been fascinated by Pokemon since she was seven, and enjoyed reading books about them. When she was nine, she started reading chapter books, fiction, about Pokemon, and though it wasn't completely fact, she learned a lot through them. When she was ten, she wrote her first serious Pokemon story; however, it was only long enough to fill four chapters. Of course, she had no intention of publishing it, but she wanted to get better so that one day, she could be an author and write a fictional story from the point of view of a Pokemon. She's always wanted her first Pokemon, and has been impatient about it. But her mother died of a disease when she was eleven, which molded her attitude into what it is now.

Pokemon Starter: Chikorita

 

[Zimvee]

To .Sublime: pretty good post!
You caught a Female Level 3 Ledyba!
To Pikalover10: Well it was a pretty good post....but unfortunatly not good enough for Chikorita :( It pains me to say this but Chikorita escapes from the Pokeball...If you like however we can go over your post if you want to know why it wasn't good enough to catch Chikorita.
To Wolfwhispers: Ok post but because Zubat is listed as Very Rare on this route im afraid you dont catch it....dont worry though as Zubat is one of the more common pokemon in the rp so there will be more chances to catch one.
To Zeta Marx...: that was pretty funny post! And a very plot fueled one! Congrats! You recieve Togepi!
To pumpkinziggy: Im sorry but Chikorita is already taken...but if you improve your sign up i will give you Sunkern.
To Everyone: Please update your trainer cards! Oh and to my kanto people togepi is no longer available but you must do the mission still though. Just make it like Zeta Marx...'s character hasnt shown up yet.

 

[Konekodemon]

Crystal headed to the Pokemon Center, to get her Pokemon healed up. She walked though the front doors and up to the desk,"Nurse Joy can you heal my Pokemon please?" She asked her.

"Why of course," Nurse Joy said with a grin. Crystal handed over Chikorita and Sentret's PokeBalls.

"I'd also like a room for the night please," Crystal told her.

"Right away," Nurse Joy said handing Crystal a paper to fill out. After she filled it out Nurse Joy handed her, her room key and a Card,"Your in room 7. Also that card is to show all the other Nurses in other Cities and Towns, so that you can stay in there Pokemon Centers as well. Your Pokemon will be healed in an hour."

"Ok, thanks Nurse Joy," Crystal told her. Nurse Joy grinned as she headed to the back room to heal Crystal's Pokemon. Crystal went up to her room, and dropped her things on the bed. She then took some of her money with her and went down to the PokeMart to buy a few things she'd need.

Crystal brought, 5 Potions, 5 Antidotes, 5 Pokeballs, and 5 Parlyze Heals. The cherk, looked at her like she was loaded on Poke, which she was. Her family makes a lot of money. She bagged the stuff, then left and went to the Grocey Store, the mart for humans, and brought, some packets of Pokemon food, and brought some drinks, and stuff to make food for herself.

She rang up all that and it was bagged as well. Crystal then walked back to the Pokemon Center carrying her very heavy bags with her. She took them up to her room, sit the bags on the floor and unlocked her room. She went inside and started unpacking the stuff in the bags and putting them into her backpack. She took out one of the little packs of grape juice and started drinking. She checked her map to see, where the first gym was located at,"Ok so it's in Violett City huh. Ok, that's only 1 more day's walk away," she decided.

About an hour later, her Pokemon were healed. She went downstairs and took her Pokemon. She then went into the kitchen for dinner. She had a lot to eat for dinner. Afterwards she went back up to her room.

Crystal was stuffed,'It must have been the chicken,' she thought. She brushed her teeth, took a shower and then decided just to go to bed. She got into bed and went to sleep, dreaming about gym battles.

Chapter 2.2: Route 29; Memory Shock
Starting Arc
Vanessa turned around to identify the mysterious trainer attempting to capture the two Pokemon; it was simply a Camper looking to expand his Pokemon list. "Hey you, move out of the way, those two are mine." The rude Camper stated.

Vanessa gazing into his eyes, replied, "These two Pokemon are in love… you can't just separate the two from their home…"

The Camper, finally facing Vanessa was angry now, "I've done this before, if you want to become a great Pokemon trainer, you have to capture as many Pokemon as you can, you dumbass!"

"That's not true at all, it's how you interact and raise your Pokemon which counts… with love and cooperation!" Vanessa exclaimed looking at the two frightened Pokemon.

"If that's true, then what Pokemon do you have noob?" the Camper joked.

Vanessa knew that she had 5 other Pokemon, but she felt it would be rude to mention them to a noob, "I currently have one with me, my Marill Angel!" Vanessa laughed.

"That's all? You've got to be kidding me!" the Camper laughed as he showed his 6 other Pokemon. They were basically weak levelled Pokemon, Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Pidgey, but there was one particular Pokemon that caught Vanessa's interest. Pulling out the Pokedex, she discovered what the rare Pokemon was.

Aipom: The Long Tail Pokemon

"It uses its tail to pluck fruits that are out of reach. Its tail is more adept than its real hands."

"It certainly is cute, but we won't let that stop us! Let's go Angel!" Vanessa exclaimed summoning her only Pokemon.

"Aipom, show this noob how we really battle!" the Camper laughed, "Aipom, lead off with a Tail Whip attack!"

The purple monkey approached the aqua mouse swinging around its tail in a cute manner; teasing it. Angel was getting frustrated, Vanessa knew that Angel always wanted to be better than most Pokemon, Aipom was no exception. Charging for a Tackle attack, Aipom swiftly dodged the attack by stowing away into the tree.

Falling flat onto its face, Angel was heading charging straight into the tree, confused on what to do. "Angel, calm down!" Vanessa yelled. It was no use; Angel kept trying to chase Aipom as it slipped from tree to tree.

Angel got tired of chasing Aipom around and just stopped trying to chase Angel, "What's the matter Marill, too weak to do anything?" the Camper mocked. "A Pokemon like you should just die."

Vanessa suddenly froze, just from hearing that word. "D..i..ee?" Vanessa muttered. She began remembering things about the word die.

"I'm sorry Vanessa… Claudia and the old geezer aren't coming back…" Jen had stated.

"Don't ever come close to me Vanessa… it's for your own good. If you really care about your dad… don't follow me." Ramon told Vanessa around Sliph Co.

"Killing is the only thing that pleasures me… you'd never understand that kid." The impostor Claudia told Vanessa.

"Killing is wrong…" Vanessa said, don't you threaten harming my little Angel again…"

The Camper was confused on how this reflected anything to killing, "I don't want to kill you Pokemon, I just want to win. Aipom, use Scratch at the Marill."

Aipom charged straight at Angel, Angel standing defenceless, "Don't try to hurt my Marill, Angel attack with a Tackle…" Vanessa quietly commanded. Angel had sensitive hearing so it picked up what Vanessa had said and countered the charging Aipom.

Aipom had fainted, due to its weak level, "Why did my rarest Pokemon lose?" the Camper cried, "You'll pay for this!!!" After that, the camper just disappeared without a trace.

Vanessa was happy that the camper was gone, checking to see if Hoppip and Sentret got hurt. They were fine; Sentret was feeling a lot better thanks to some Oran berries Hoppip had found for Sentret. "I'm glad you're all safe…" Vanessa smiled.

With that, Vanessa and Angel walked off towards the next town. But Angel noticed something different Vanessa, besides not saying anything, she seemed to be in a state of shock, with her deepened eyes reflecting pain, Angel cried a tear seeing that by the time they made it to Cherrygrove.

 

[~SilverSoul]

Silver was gone when Gold woke up, just as he predicted. Waking up slowly, mainly from emotional pain, Gold stood up and adjusted his clothes, turning to Magby afterward.

"Magby, get up. We have to go," Gold said sternly.

Magby opened one eye and peeked at his trainer a little confused at his attitude, but obeyed nevertheless. Leaping up on his feet, the little fire pokemon bounced in Gold's arms ready to go.

The two had a really short breakfast before Gold ordered that they get up and leave for the next town with half the food still remaining on the plate. Confused much more, Magby silently stood up and slowly followed his trainer out into the next route. He followed for about ten minutes, not making a peep at all as Gold walked forward, never turning around.

Finally, for the first time in half an hour, Gold stopped and faced Magby. He took a deep breath.

"Listen, I'm really sorry for acting different like this all the sudden, but let's face it," Gold started. "We are really behind the other trainers. And we are not powerful….We're weak."

Magby tilted his head to the side, even more confused.

"Why do you look confused?" Gold almost demanded. "We ARE weak. You haven't seen the Collectors battle. Last time I faced them, I almost died! They'll wipe us out without another thought and move on."

Gold sat down on the floor, burying his face in his hands. He pulled at his hair frustrated. Magby came over and cuddled on his trainer in attempt to comfort him. After a few moments, Gold stroked his pokemon and hugged him.

"I'm sorry, Magby. I shouldn't be this afraid. And you don't deserve a trainer like me…" Gold took a deep breath. "Everyone tells me what I great trainer I am, but is it good enough?"

Magby cuddled on him a little more. Gold grinned and picked up the little fire pokemon with satisfaction.

"I'll just try harder. We need to become stronger," Gold declared. He put down his pokemon and continued on the route. "C'mon, we need to capture some pokemon. We gotta build on our team."

Gold was more determined than ever before in his life. It was mainly because of fear, but because of his willpower to be better than any of the other trainers as well. He knew that Magby was right behind him and ready to help, pushing him even farther.

Then, something caught Gold's eyes after a few minutes of walking. It was standing near a pond and it looked like……a tadpole? It had some amphibian like features on its body and had an extremely cute face.

"Cool, a pokemon," Gold mumbled as he pulled out his pokedex, pointing it at the tadpole.

Poliwag, the Tadpole pokemon. Its skin is so thin that its internal organs are visible. It has trouble walking on its newly grown feet.

"Mmmm, these things are in Kanto and they seem a lot stronger than how the pokedex describes them," Gold mumbled. He shrugged and pointed his finger in the air. "Magby, lets go!"

Magby leaped out in front of Poliwag, making it turn around and jump in fear. Its small feet gave away underneath it causing it to tumble on the ground, flat on its back.

"Magby, lets weaken it a little with ember!" Gold ordered.

Magby sucked in a deep breath and let out a spurt of glowing red flames. Poliwag reacted quickly to the attack by rolling to the side and climbing back on its feet. It sucked in some air and sprayed out a stream of water right towards Magby.

"Ack, it's a water attack! Watch out, Magby!" Gold shouted.

The attack was impossible to dodge. Magby just stood frozen and was hit with the water attack. Cringing with fear, Magby opened his eyes and found that the mist didn't do anything at all.

Gold just shrugged and pointed high in the air. "Magby, ember!"

His pokemon dove in and spit out flames at the water pokemon, making it cry out and roll backwards on the ground hard. It weakly stood up and sprayed out the water once more at Magby, but it, of course, had no effect.

What is with that attack? Gold wondered. He shrugged, not caring about anything except the pokemon he wanted to catch. "Magby, cover it in smog to weaken it!"

Magby took in a breath of air and puffed out purple smoke all around Poliwag. It looked around scared and confused until Gold could see it no more. The small pokemon became completely devoured in the flame.

After a few moments, the fog cleared and Gold took note on the results. Poliwag was down on the ground, completely out of it and ready to capture. He pulled out a pokeball and held it in the air.

I will become stronger…

Gold threw the pokeball, cracking on the pokemon's body and sucking it in a beam of red light. Gold waited to see if he would capture his first pokemon in Johto.

 

[Snow Phoenix]

Zack was within Cherrygrove now. First priority find the pokemon center!

Cyndar was awfully weak from the battle with a Poliwag and Zack knew it.

Right around the corner was a pokemon center.

"Nurse take my pokemon!" Zack shouted with authority.

The nurse perked up from a slouched position. "Well who do we think we are today." she mused in a muttered voice barely audible to Zack's ear.

"This is no time for jokes! HEAL MY POKEMON!" Zack shouted even louder.

"Fine" she responded with a yawn. "Some jerk. He should get some manners." the Nurse muttered under her breath while heading into a room behind the counter.

"I HEARD THAT!" Zack yelled in a small rage that shook the Nurse a little.

A few minutes passed and after the Nurse's own performance several bad words came into his head.

"HEY NURSE, WHERE'S MY POKEMON" he shouted towards the room. Everyone stared at him.

"WHY DON'T YOU ALL GET A LIFE" he screamed at everyone else who was looking at him.

"Hold your horses" the Nurse shouted out of the room.

That silenced Zack and he stared menacingly at all of the people in the pokemon center.

"Here's your pokemon. Thanks for waiting patiently." the Nurse said a few minutes later as she brought out the pokeball that contained his Cyndaquil. The Nurse seemed completely oblivious.

"Are you a blonde?" Zack said as he hit her on the head and took his pokemon.

He left through the door in a nonchalant attitude and headed over to a small park.

"Cyndar come on out" Zack said a little relieved because he was away from that idiotic Nurse.

"So, Cyndar you've learned a new move. Cyndar try out your ember." Zack said calmly.

The Cyndaquil spat flames at the ground and a powerful fire rose. The fire was like a huge bon-fire.

The flames were coming from a dog-like pokemon. The pokemon burried the flames with a stamp of its hoove and darted off into the thicker parts of the area when Zack finally noticed it.

"Cyndar let's go. It's getting dark." Zack said in his usual apathetic voice.

He approached a row of houses near the park. There was a single house with a light and Zack noticed a boy going into that house. He walked towards the house and knocked on the door with solid thumps.

A man opened the door and said "Yes?".

Zack pushed pass him and went up the stairs while saying "I've been sleeping outdoors for three days. I hope you don't mind me taking a bed like that one kid did. Also someones dog is of its leash and I'd rather not get bitten. The funny thing is the dog seemed to glow like fire."

The man was speechless.

Zack approached a room and swung the door open hard. He instantly turned on the lights and shouted loudly "Who are you?" at the sleeping boy.

OOC: Your turn silver. I hope you had nice dreams before I woke you up.

All right, how is this? I added some. And if I'm in, could you tell me what's going on at the moment?

Character Name: Raven Wulfgar

Gender: Female

Age: 12

Appearance: Raven is a rather short twelve-year-old, being only four feet three inches tall. Occasionally, she wishes she were taller, but mostly, she just likes herself how she is. She has a slim build, however, making her seem slightly taller than she really is sometimes. Her eyes are a very dark brown, almost black, and are small, like a bird's. Her hair is very long, going almost down to her waist. It's also very straight, and goes in almost a direct line, rather like a piece of dark paper. Raven's hair is jet black, which is mostly why she was named Raven in the first place; after her hair and bird-like eyes. Her arms are long, which can be uncomfortable combined with her being short, but her hands are small. Raven wears a plain, smoky gray shirt with sleeves that are so long, they reach her wrists. The remaining portion of her arms that is not covered, she wears thin black gloves over. They don't keep her warm as much as they are just for show. She has short legs, which is the cause of most of her lack of height. Her feet are small also, probably size three, which gives her a bit of a problem with her balance. Raven wears black pants with a light gray stripe down the side of each leg, but the pants stop at her ankles. The rest of her foot is covered by either white socks, which are the only things light on her besides her skin, or black, waterproof running shoes that are slip-ons, with no laces. Occasionally, in the summer, on warm days, she wears sandals when she doesn't have to walk much. However, she doesn't enjoy the beach, and prefers the forest.


Personality: Raven is apathetic, not really caring much about anything but her Pokemon, and maybe the task at hand. She's bold and never really thinks before entering something that's probably either deep trouble or none of her business, which of course can be trouble. She's also easily suspicious of those she doesn't know about, not really trusting anyone unless they're friends with her, which is pretty much the hardest thing to do. This makes her awkward around others, especially if it's crowded or something like a party, where there's a lot of action. Raven can be hostile much of the time, and usually ignores or is rude to others if she feels like it. She also has a short temper, and is fierce when she loses the small amount of patience that she does have. She's good at arguing and usually hopes to win by using logic. However, she's a good battler with Pokemon because she uses strategy instead of strength. Her favorite way to take advantage of her opponent is by using type advantages. Raven enjoys challenging herself, and if she ever had a chance to go to the Battle Tower in Hoenn, she would probably choose Pokemon of all the same type, just to see what happens. She especially likes Dark and Flying-type Pokemon because of her name, but Grass is a good one, too, she thinks. Raven can be ambitious, and hates losing. She likes reading and writing a lot, and always carries around a small notebook in which to jot ideas for stories down. Mainly, she's calm and doesn't worry about much, but also quiet natured and doesn't like to speak to others because she's afraid she'll be at a lack of words. Raven hates starting conversations, and one of her fears is speaking in front of a crowd. However, she likes to solve problems and dislikes disorder or chaos. She can also be sensitive and emotional, and although she's usually calm, she's easily provoked.


History: Raven was born on December 21st, on one of the the darkest nights of the year: the beginning of winter, at about 11:00 PM. She enjoys celebrating her exact birthday, and thus stays up late every December 21st just so she "doesn't miss her birthday." She has been fascinated by Pokemon since she was seven, and enjoyed reading books about them. When she was nine, she started reading chapter books, fiction, about Pokemon, and though it wasn't completely fact, she learned a lot through them.

Of course, she had no intention of publishing it, but she wanted to get better so that one day, she could be an author and write a fictional story from the point of view of a Pokemon. She's always wanted her first Pokemon, and has been impatient about it. But her mother died of a disease when she was eleven, which molded her attitude into what it is now. She lived alone with her father, which was hard for her, because she was pelted by nightmares more often than she had been before. Ever since her mother died, there has been a "hole" in her heart that will never be filled again, causing Raven's inner sensitivity. It also made her prefer to stay away from others, and since then she hasn't liked forming close emotional bonds, because she's afraid she might lose someone whom she gets close to. That, in fact, is one of her worst fears.

Pokemon Starter: Sunkern?

(ooc: Drake's Voice will be a little weird, and it will immedately be recognizable. He'll speak like that until the shadow is killed again.)

Chapter 6: Drake Landis' Return! Fury of the Insane Genius!

Drake walked through the forest, with that same insane grin on his face as it was before. "Kill... kill... kill... He's near, I can feel it." Said Drake as he looked around, seeing the trees around him distort. He then heard a voice that wasn't the shadow.

"Please, don't do this... Drake, I know you aren't this crazy!" Yelled the voice. Drake looked around in a sort of panic.

"WHat!? YOu sHOUld bE DEaaad!" Said Drake, his voice cracking and dragging on. Suddenly he saw a woman in front of him. She was 4'6" tall, had black hair, and was dressed in an angel's robe. "YoUU ShouLDN't Be hERe!"

"Please brother... stop this madness..." Said the Angel, but Drake took out his gun and shot at her. "Is that really your answer?"

"GO AWAy! I don'T WaNT TO sEE YoU!" Yelled Drake before shooting her again, doing no damage as she is really a hallucination. "I nEEd NoOne!"

(Chris)

Chris had gained a lot of ground and was pretty close to Violet City, when he heard gunshots. "What? What's that?" Asked Chris to himself. "Wait... I shouldn't get involved... remember last time?"

(No flashback for you!)

"Yeah, that was a crazy and epic battle at the same time. It had to have been the hardest battle I was ever in." Said Chris before trying to walk away, but he turned towards where the gunshot was heard without realising it.

"HaHHAH!" Laughed a familiar voice. Chris looked back and saw Drake. "DIe! DiE! DIEDIEDIE!" Yelled Drake as he pulled back the hammer of the pistol.

"Holy sh-" Started Chris, but Drake pulled the trigger, hitting Chris in his shoulder. "Gah!" Chris grabbed onto his arm in pain before deciding to flee. Drake followed after him before firing another shot. Fortunately for Chris, his aim was way off in his insane state.

"DIe DIiie!" Yelled Drake as he reloaded his pistol, but before he could shoot, he got 'punched' by his 'sister'. "AnDREa LanDIS! Do NOt PUnCH MEE!" Chris looked back but saw that Drake was yelling at a tree. "Do YOU uNDerStaND?"

"Brother..." Said Andrea as she reached out to him, but Drake shot at her, which was really hitting a tree.

"YOU'rE Not ReaL!!! Get AwAY fROm MeEeE!" Yelled Drake as he kept shooting at 'Andrea'. Chris just stared at Drake, who was shooting a tree.

"I'm just going to go now." Said Chris as he walked away. Drake looked towards Chris before trying to shoot him, but Andrea 'punched' him again, but in reality, it was his head hitting the branch.

"You Go AWAy! I dOn'T WanT YOU AnYMoRE!" Yelled Drake before shooting at her more. "Go!!!!! GOOOO!!! I HAteeee YOu!" But Drake didn't see Chris looking at the display, and at Drake angerly firing his firearm at a tree.

"What happened to you... I would ask, but... in the state you're in... I feel sorry for you man." Said Chris before walking towards Violet City, leaving Drake there.

(Shadow)

"Well, it seems that another Ghost type Pokemon is messing with my control over him." Said the shadow. "I must get him back under my control immedately, and banish memories of his sister forever." And with that, the shadow disappeared.

(ooc: Yeah, no fight, but... you get to see Drake being crazy. This has no effect to the main plot, and I wanted to do something that didn't involve a pokemon battle. Besides, if they did fight, Chris would have lost, so I had to do this.)

The ball stopped and it flung open. The CHikorita materalized in front of him and it didn't look very pleased. Max grunted in surprise and then decided to defeat it. He grabed the Pokeball and Scout looked at the Chikorita cautously.

"Scout use Scratch!" Max called.

Scout leapt foreward at the already wobbeling Chikorita and slashed its face. It yelped quietly and wobbled back. It then fell to the ground, its legs giving out on her. She didn't faint though. She wobbled back up and tackled Scout to the ground.

"Sen!" Scout called out.

She slapped the CHikorita across the face and then bit down on her leg. Chikorita yelped and fell back knocked out. Max sighed and scooped Scout up. So far he wasn't having very good luck with capturing certain Pokemon he wanted.

---

A few minutes later the Chikorita had been nursed back to full health and it had run off. Scout and Max where now back on the road and were looking around everywhere for Mr. Pokemon's house.

Max took a sip of water from the river they were next to and so did Scout. She tripped over a rock and fell in to the water. It wasn't a fast moving current so she didn't float off. Her head popped out and she looked sad, but started laughing as she saw Max laughing his guts out.

"You're not sitting on my head until you dry off." Max told her.

Scout jumped out of the water and shook herself, spraying a bunch of water on to Max. Max shook his head and took his bag off, he then began to rumage through it. He found a white towel and began to dry Scout off with it.

Eventually Scout was pretty dry. He slipped the towel back in to his bag and then jumped to his feet. Scout ran up his body and perched herself on his head again and then they began searching for Mr. Pokemon's house.

Max got fed up with wondering around the route and took out his Pokegear. He groaned as he found out that they had passed his house a long time ago. He turned around and slipepd the Pokegear back away and then he dashed towards the house.

As he ran down the route he passed Pidgey, Poliwag, Marill, the occasional CHikorita, and someitmes saw Hoothoot asleep. He tripepd over a rock and landed straight on top of a Caterpie. The bug screeched and then crawled away before a Pidgey found it.

Max scratched his head nad got back up.He looked at his Pokegar's map and found out now that they weren't to far from it. Scout hopped on top of his head slightly and was obviously excited about something. Max looked in the direction she was pointing and saw smoke.

He grinned widely and dashed towards the smoke. Once they arrived Max found a small little cabin and smoke was coming from the chimney. He walked up to the door and rapped his knuckles on it.

"Yes?" a voice came form inside. It was week but stern.

"Umm. I'm here for Mr. Pokemon. I'm here to pick something up for Professor Elm." Max replied.

"Oh. Um, yes. Come in. Come in." the voice now grew rougher and more normal.

Max grabbed the knob and turned it. He stepped inside and what he saw amazed him. Hi tech equipment everywhere! Max noticed a man wearing a black suit was talking to someone on one of the Pokephones found in Pokemon Centers. Max peeked over the relatively short man and noticed he was talking to Professor Oak.

"Professor Oak!" Max shouted butting in to the conversation.

Oak blinked his eyes a few times and saw Max. "Oh Max! I erm..." Oak began to mumble to himself.

"What is it professor?" Max asked curious, then he noticed the burnt lab equipment in the background and knew what the professor didn't want to tell him.

"I'm sorry, but your Arcanine, is, well..."

"I know. Arcanine was stolen and brainwashed." Max said sourly.

"No. He wasn't brainwashed. Somehow the man that stole him knows you and threatened that if the Arcanine didn't act like a mindless animal he would kill you. His concious is very well intact." Oak replied.

"Then why did he almost chomp my arm off?!" Max said holding his bitten arm up.

"Oh. Well, Mr. Pokemon. It was nice to talk to you, I better be going now. Bye."

"Wait-" but the professor had already hung up.

"Now, young man. The item Elm wishes me to give you is a very special egg. Please handel it with care." Mr. Pokemon said rising to his feet.

He walked over and grabbed a white egg with red and blue markings all around it. Max took the egg adn held it carefully. Mr. Pokemon smiled and then took Scout off of his head.

Hey! What are you doing?" Max asked thinking the man was trying to steal Scout now.

"Your Pokemon is very tired. I want to heal her to full health." he replied.

He stuck her on a machine and she glew a bright yellow and then turned back to normal color. She jumped to her feet and smiled. She then jumped on to Max's head. Max thanked the man and walked outside wondering where to go next.

END

OOC: Sorry it was kind of short...

To Pikalover10: ok post but you dont get to keep the egg you kinda just examine it and send you data back to elm via pokegear. Sorry if i didnt make that clear! Oh and there quite a number of spelling errors in your post. I know i cant talk since there are probally a few in this post alone but if i do a quick scan of your post to get a read on it and a bunch pop out out me then you may want to look into that ok? Sentret will get only a small boost because of the battle though!
Sentret grew to Level 9!

Chapter 4: Route 30

"Are you ready?" Grey asked Ashton, who was sitting under a tree waiting for him.

Ashton got up, and brushed the dirt from his pants. "Sure am." Ashton replied, "I was kind of getting bored of waiting, actually," he paused then said, "Well then, let's head off!"

Ashton starting walking down the long, twisting route: Route 30. Grey followed suit, right behind Mala, Ashton's Togepi.

"Toge-tog!"

"Hey.," Grey said, bending down to pat the Pokemon. "Why don't you meet Snow?"

Grey looked behind him, but didn't see Snow – or De for that matter. Grey started freaking out. He ran behind, searching for Snow and De. On the other hand, Mala returned to her owner.

Grey back tracked the whole route. He was looking everywhere: in the grass, behind trees, and in every nook. "Snow! De!" Grey yelled, worried about his Pokemon. With every step, Grey got closer and closer to Cherrygrove City. Soon, Grey was bordering on angry. Snow and De were no where to be found! Then, right on the edge of Cherrygrove City and Route 30, he heard Pokemon cries.

"Hoot-hoot! Hoo!" Grey looked up too see a Hoothoot offering worms to two Pokemon that he had brought up into a tree; two Pokemon that weren't supposed to be on a tree.

"Hoot!" the Hoothoot said, urging the two Pokemon to take a worm.

"Maaaar!" One of the scared Pokemon cried, shortly followed by a small wimpering, "Hop!"

"Snow! De! How did you two get up there?" Grey asked, thinking of a way to get them down.

"Eep!" The Mareep said, unsure of how to answer.

"Why didn't you attack?"

"Eeep!" the Pokemon said, wanting nothing more than to get down.

"Okay, Snow! Use tackle!" The small Mareep got up, as scared as ever, and tried a tackle. Though the tackle wasn't as full force as Snow's previous tackles, it still packed a punch.

Suddenly, the Hoothoot swallowed the worms and tackled Snow. Snow was hit fairly hard, and struggled to keep on the branch.

"Okay, De! Use synthesis to heal Snow!" The Pokemon closed its eyes and drew a mysterious force out of its surroundings. The Pokemon then laid its hands on Snow, and healed the Pokemon.
"Mareep!" the Pokemon sneered, ready to once again attack.

"Snow! Give it another tackle!" The Mareep once again tackled the Hoothoot, successfully knocking the Pokemon of the branch.

"Yes!" Grey said, but then watched as the Pokemon flew back to its perch and dug its claws into the cork.

"Great!" Grey muttered, then, "Okay, try one more tackle!" One last time, the Pokemon rammed the bird Pokemon. Finally, the Pokemon lost the last bit of its health, and fainted.

Then, to make the situation worse, the branch broke and Mareep and Hoppip came tumbling to the rock hard ground.

"Ohh... Are you guys' okay?"

"Mar!" the Mareep said, gathering its' strength.

"Hoppi!" the Hoppip said.

"Okay. Don't ever do that again!" Grey said, trying to sound like a strict parent but failing miserably.

Eventually, Grey caught up to Ashton.

"What just happened?!" Ashton said. Grey couldn't see Mala anywhere. A Ledyba then slammed into the ground, and Mala regenerated a few feet away.

"Well, it doesn't look like that Ledyba is getting up." Ashton said, tossing a PokeBall.

The PokeBall shook once, then twice, and after an agonizing wait, three times. Ashton had successfully caught a Pokemon!

"Good job, man!" Grey said, then saying with a chuckle, "Did you notice I was gone?"

OOC: Sorry to keep you waiting, .Sublime ^_^;;

 

[~SilverSoul]

Gold opened the pokeball once more after it clicked shut. In a burst of red light, a small Poliwag beamed out in front of Gold. It looked very timid with its tail on the ground and its eyes dropping as he looked at Gold.

"Hey, Poliwag. I'm sorry if I scared you," Gold said cheerfully.

The little water pokemon looked at Gold. His eyes brightened a little more as if he noticed some encouragement in Gold's voice and trust in his friendly face. He slowly walked over to Gold. The trainer picked up Poliwag and held him tight.

"Glad to see you're part of the gang now."

Magby came over with pride from his victory from the expression on his face. Gold patted him on the head to acknowledge his success.

"You, me, and Magby are going to prove to be an awesome team one day," Gold said with pride. He paused for a minute before looking at Poliwag. "But, what about that attack of yours? It should've Magby really bad, right?"

Gold placed Poliwag down next to Magby and pulled out his pokedex. He found the information he was looking for after a few minutes- Poliwag's attack moves.

Poliwag has one and only move, Water Sport. It's a special water attack to soaks the opponent and itself to become more resistant to water attacks.

Gold frowned as he stuffed the pokedex back in his pocket. "Well, that's not a very helpful attack. I mean, you're already powerful against fire attacks." He looked at Poliwag cheerfully. "Oh well. We'll find a way to make it work."

Gold decided it was time to hit the road again. After getting his things together, he began walking down the path with his tiny pokemon following him like little ducklings. The trio occasionally had to stop because Poliwag had fallen over due to his feeble feet. It was all but frustrating to Gold though. He found that watching his pokemon do that was like watching a baby try to take its first steps. All fun…

Soon, Gold spotted something up ahead. A home? It had to have been. It was a square building with windows, a door, and a roof in Gold's eyes. As he looked at the house, he heard his stomach growl long and hard. He remembered the breakfast he had shortened because of the fear he had only about an hour ago.

"Do you think it's……bad if we go ask for food from somebody's home?" Gold asked his two duckling pokemon. They both shook their heads immediately as Gold heard their stomachs grumble. Well, it was decided.

Gold went up to the door and knocked three times. Nobody answered whatsoever. He repeated the knocks. Nothing.

""Erm, maybe we should go look around," Gold mumbled. He twisted the doorknob to find it open, so he invited himself inside.

The building was quite small and cramped with a bed in one corner, a simple couch and table in another corner, and then a large desk with gear and equipment, including a large computer, sitting there. The first thing Gold thought was "computer geek" and then he noticed the geek sitting at the overlarge desk focused on the computer of his.

"You know it's rude to go into somebody's home uninvited?" the man asked calmly. He never even looked at Gold.

"Well, I guess you should've answered the door when I knocked six times," Gold answered somewhat rudely.

"It's my choice who comes and doesn't come into my home," the man explained. His eyes were still focused on the computer.

"I guess," Gold said. He looked at the man's computer and came closer. "Whatcha looking at?" He stuck his head in and tried to look before the man shoved him away. Gold only managed to catch the words Prof Elm.

"You rude child! Don't you know it's also rude to look at somebody's computer while they're using it? Respect my privacy!"

"Hey, I know Professor Elm!" Gold exclaimed, ignoring the man's comment. The man turned around to stare at him. Wow, he actually looked away from the computer.

"You know the professor?" the man asked. "Then……you must be one of the starter trainers."

"Well, I'm not a starter…"

"You have a starter pokemon."

"Whatever," Gold said. "What's so important about me? What does the professor want?"

"Aren't you a field assistant for him?" the man asked. Gold nodded. The man smiled and stood up to face Gold. "Hooray, one finally came. My name is Mr. Pokemon, young sir."

"Um, Gold, but what do I need to do here?" Gold asked as he shook the man's hand.

Mr. Pokemon smiled and led him over to a section on his desk. A case with what looked like an egg was in it. Gold and his pokemon looked at it astonished.

"What is this?" Gold asked as he tapped the case. Mr. Pokemon brushed his hand away.

"This happens to be one of the biggest discoveries in pokemon history," the Mr. Pokemon explained. "A pokemon egg."

Gold was astonished. "What, pokemon can hatch from eggs?"

Mr. Pokemon beamed at Gold's interest. "Yes, it is a very recent discovery and I would be very thrilled if you could explain my discovery to Professor Elm. In fact, this egg needs a trainer to raise it. My studies show that a pokemon egg can not hatch unless it is with other pokemon."

Gold laughed with appreciation. "Nah, I'll probably drop it or something."

"I guess you would," the man said sighing.

Gold pulled out his PokeGear and sent a message to Professor Elm explaining the discovery of the egg.

"So, can I help you before you set out again?" the man asked.

"My pokemon and I are a little hungry," Gold said foolishly. The man smiled and handed Gold a container of pokemon food. Gold looked at the container and frowned.

"Yeah, I'm kind of hungry too…"

"You can go now," the man said.

"But I-"

"Get out!"

Gold rushed out the door with an unhappy stomach and a small container of pokemon food in his hand.

[Wolfwhispers]

Jade sighed in defeat as the pokeball rocked back and forth before bursting open with a blast of white light, revealing the Zubat. It screeched angrily at her, and all she could do was watch it fly away into the sky, following the others that had nearly disappeared from view.

A soft chuckle made her turn around. A boy, that looked maybe a year or so older, leaned against a tree, looking completely and utterly amused and relaxed. "That was... rather pathetic," he stated softly.

Jade bristled. "What did you say?" she demanded angrily, fists clenched.

He looked at her for a moment, seemingly sizing hr up. "Well, a Zubat did get away from you, which are supposed to be easy pokemon... Though I suppose you a beginner, are you not?"
"And what if I am?"
The boy shrugged, running a hand through his brown hair in thought as his hazel eyes watched her for a moment. "Then that explains everything," he stated.

Jade glared. "Well, if you're so good, how about a battle?" she challenged.

"I don't think..."

"What are you, a coward?" she called.

The boy's eyes narrowed. "Very well. This one is rather new and shouldn't be too much trouble for a newbie." He threw his pokeball, ignoring Jade's "Yea, yea." He turned to her. "By the way, my name is Zack."

"And I'm Jade," Jade answered, watching the pokemon appear.

It had red fur and six curly tails. "Vul," it said softly, watching Larvitar jump in front of it warily. The Vulpix turned back to its trainer. Zack nodded, and Vulpix prepared itself.

"Sandstorm, and cover the area!" Jade called out quickly.

"Lari!" Larvitar shouted, launching th massive attack around. The area was quickly filled with the storm, making it hard for everyone to see.

"Vul," Vulpix moaned as the hard sand bashed against it.

"Smart... Vulpix, use Ember," Zack commanded.

"Vulp!" Vulpix yelped, opening its mouth and unleashing the fire attack. The small fire balls were launched towards Larvitar.

"Larvitar, roll to the side!" Jade said quickly, not wanting her pokemon to get hurt.

"Var," Larvitar growled, jumping to the side to try and avoid the fire balls. "Larv," Larvitar grunted as the flames brushed against its tail.

"Quick, use Bite!" Jade shouted over the roar of the Sandstorm as it got worse and pounded angrily against the fire type, expliciting a yelp.

"Quick Attack," Zack commanded, watching with narrowed eyes, making Jade wonder just how experienced this boy was.

"Vul vul vul," Vulpix chanted, bounding toward Larvitar with a flash of speed, hitting the ground type right in the stomach.

"Larv," Larvitar grunted, pushing its stomach out and pushing Vulpix back, much to its shock. "Ar," Larvitar smirked as it opened its mouth and chomped down on Vulpix's ear.

"Vullll!" Vulpix yelped loudly, shaking Larvitar off quickly. "Pix," it whimpered, running its ear.

"Vulpix, shake it off. Ember it," Zack said with a sigh towards his pokemon's antics.

"Larvitar, Bite!" Jade commanded.

"Vul," Vulpix grunted as the Sandstorm did more damage to it. "Vulp!" It launched the Ember at the charging Larvitar, hitting him straight on.

"Vat," Larvitar spat, wincing but still running with determination. "Vatra!" he shouted, jumping utop the startled fox and and chomping right down on its neck.

"Vulp!" it screamed in shock, going limp for a moment before running around with fear in its eyes, Larvitar still attached.

"Vulpix, get it off!" Zack commanded.

"Keep it up, Larvitar!" Jade called in excitement, a wide grin on her face. "Keep on Biting!"

"Var!" came Larvitar's muffled response, tightening its grip even more.

"Pix," Vulpix mumbled, shaking itself viciously as it tried to dislodge Larvitar. It winced once more as the Sandstorm continued to do more damage before starting to clear away. Everyone could now see properly, and for the first time, Jade could see how battered Vulpix looked from that Sandstorm.

"Vulpix, try an Ember," Zack called out.

"Vul." Vulpix tried to turn its head, but as Larvitar was connected to its neck, it couldn't do much. "Vulp!" Vulpix chouted in desperation, launching the Ember attack around wildly, making Jade and Zack have to dodge a few stray ones.

"Vulpix, get control of yourself!" Zack barked. "Use Quick Attack towards the trees and slam Larvitar into one of them," Zack commanded.

"Wait for it," Jade murmered, loud enough for Larvitar to hear. Vulpix continued to charge at the tree and, at the last moment, jumped and turned its body in such a way that it was upside down and its back was facing the tree, meaning Larvitar would take the attack. "Drop now!" Jade all but screamed.

"Var." Larvitar spat out Vulpix's neck, instantly dropping to the ground.

"Vulp?" Vulpix questioned in confusion before slamming right into the tree." Pix," it growled, trembling as it slid down to the base of the tree.

"Alright! Larvitar, finish it with Bite!" Jade commanded, victory already lighting up her eyes.

"Larvi!" Larvitar called in excitement as it rushed at Vulpix, mouth wide open. "Lar... Var!" Larvitar gapped in surprise as all it bit down on was air.

Zack had recalled Vulpix back into its ball. "That should be enough," he stated, returning the pokeball to his belt.

"Wha... Why?" Jade demanded.

Zack chuckled. "I told you, this pokemon was just recently caught and has no goo dexperience with fighting." He looking down at the agitated Larvitar. "But it seems your Larvitar, despite being new to the world of battling, is doing quite alright."
"Er, thanks," Jade said awkwardly, not really sure what to say. "So... how far are you into your journey?"
He flashed her a smirk and showed her two badges. "I've got two badges and quite a few pokemon."

"And I'm sure your pokemon are all much stronger," Jade said with a slump. He had been going easy on her.

Zack apparently read her mind. "Don't think I was going easy on you. Yes, some of my pokemon are much stronger than any newbies, but I still have to capture new pokemon every now and then to build up my team. This Vulpix was just at the right level for yours. What level was Larvitar before the battle?"

Jade thought about it. "Like level nine or something."

Zack looked surprised before smirking. "Even better than I thought. "Vulpix here is level eleven. You did just fine."

Jade smiled back, feeling a bit better. She leaned down to Larvitar's level. "You hear that, buddy? You were awesome!"
"Var!" Larvitar agreed, bobbing his head up down.

"Don't let it go to your head," Zack warned. "Plenty of good trainers begin to slip once they get an ego... but then again all newbies start off with a big ego." He ingored Jade's scowl. "Well, see ya."

"Ya, see ya," Jade said, watching Zack walk away.

Chapter Four, Part 1: Enter: Zack

Almost there... the ice cream was getting closer, and so were his monkey-abducting pursuers. With one final leap, he rose to the air, and landed on top of the towering mound of ice cream. His pursuers were far behind now, and he began to eat his sweet reward. Still eating, he paused as he heard a noise. A drum set flew out of nowhere, and screamed bloody murder towards him, and began gnasing its non-existant teeth. It was nothing, so he continued eating. And that was when a feal mountain goat with an America dew rag, shades, blue coconut Sonic slush, chainsaw, and Harley jumped out of the blue and ate him alive.

--

"Who are you?!" A voice yelled, as Silver sprung up from his waking dream. Silver turned his head and found himself looking at a rather casually- dressed fellow. This was as a shock as much as the goat eating him.

"I am Silver, the dreamer of ice cream. Now let me go back to sleep, I have to kick some goat-"

"No you don't!" The boy cried even louder.

Silver paused, and looked at the kid with a half-open eye. He seemed to be angry about something. Either way, sleep was the priority.

"What brings you to be interrupting my sleep, O Angry One?" Silver casually laughed.

"Grr... My name is NOT O Angry One! It's Zack!" Zack yelled with his fists clenched and teeth bared. "What are you doing here?"

"Sleeping."

"Well I need a place too. Is there any other bed availible?" Zack asked.

Ryan answered, "There is one upstaris, if you want it. It is a little untidy, but you can clean it up if you like."

This seemed to cool Zack down slightly. "Alright, thank you sir. Silver!"

"What?!" Silver whined. He was almost asleep.

"Are you a Pokemon trainer?" Zack asked.

"Yes I am, are you?"

"Yeah. I just started not too long ago."

"That's great," Silver said, "Me too. Tomorrow we should battle. I hear Route 30 is plenty spacious, not like that other dismal path I came from." Silver made a face.

Though Zack seemed upset naught but a minute ago, you could not have told now. He had a joy in his face, and replied to Silver, "Sounds great! See you tomorrow morning!" Silver smiled, and watched as Zack trudged up the wooden stairs. Within the next minute, Silver was out like a light again.

--

Morning came like a rude slap in the face. The first light from the sun illuminated the damp room with an incandescent glow, as Silver peered with one eye open. He sat up, and surveying his surroundings, found that there was breakfast on the cofee table, with Zack and Ryan seated around it. It was a colorful night in his dreams, but he wouldn't go back to them, else he might miss his big battle. Grudgingly, he stood up from his cot, and ruffled his hair about. Silver approached them with tired eyes.

"Hey, how are you guys?"

Zack and Ryan looked up between sips, and studied Silver.

"Fair, and yourself, young trainer?" Asked Ryan.

"Oh fine. What about you, Zack?" Silver responded.

"Great..." Though Zack seemed passive, you could tell that he was excited for the upcoming battle. With quivering hands, he put down his mug, and stared out the window. Silver began to think that Zack's previously excited mood was only a rarity.

A long silence ensued, and Silver broke it. "So, Zack, are you ready yet?"

Rudley, he replied, "Are you? I have eaten breakfast and am ready. You haven't."

"Geez, it was a question, Zack, not a statement. I am well aware that I need preparation," Silver was taken aback at Zack's snap. He figured that Zack was trying to assert his dominance pre-battle, as to intimidate Silver. It is what I would have done... Smart man. Luckily, I am not one for fear to be stricken into. After a quick stare down, Silver left the table to get his pack arranged, and then returned to eat. A plate of hashbrowns, pancakes, and milk waited at his table for him. Silver began to dig in, hungry from last night's excitement. The only thing that Silver would not touch was the coffee.

After draining his last bit of milk, Silver stood up, and grabed his backpack. "Zack, I am going to attempt to heal Makesh. I truly hate the Pokemon nurse."

Zack nodded in agreement. "She could have hit me in my face and been more polite. Cyndar needs to get healed before we... fight." The last word sent a chill down Silver's spine. He could hardly wait for the battle to begin. So what was he waiting for? Turning towards the door, Silver heard Zack's earnest footsteps not far behind. Silver and Zack stepped outside Ryan's house, thanking him for his hospitality. The outside air felt cool and refreshing to Silver's face, as it wasn't even ten o'clock yet. Together, they walked to the center, and entered the sliding doors once again. This time, however, the nurse complied with their request, and Cyndar and Makesh were healed within a matter of minutes. Soon, they were out on the road again, and the exit path from Cherrygrove was not far away. Pine trees bordered the city, and they gave a cozy mountainous feel as Silver peered down the foggy route ahead. It was quite a change from the warm, sunny city, and Silver hesitated to go at first. Silver enjoyed the fog, but this one seemed a bit eerie. Nevertheless, he started on the route, Zack following him. Route 30, unlike 29, was much wider, but did not have a specific path. It more had an area between the clumps of tall grass. Silver knew those clumps concealed Pokemon. He wondered what kind there were, but decided he would have plenty of time to catch them once their battle had ceased. Silver and Zack walked for a few more yards in the fog, until they found a lake, and more importantly, a wide open area for their long anticipated battle. They both paused, and Zack was the first to set his pack down.

"This seems like a good spot," Zack said what they both thought.

"I agree," Silver said, "This may be the only empty spot on the route." With that, he set his pack down, and unclipped Makesh's Pokeball. Zack did likewise with Cyndars, and they both found an area on the perimeter of the clearing. Silver said a few quick words under his breath, and raised Makesh's Pokeball high in the foggy air.

"Now, Zack, you get to see my skills as a Pokemon battler! Go, Makesh!" Silver tossed the Pokeball on the ground, and a red light exploded from it. As if Makesh heard Silver's words, he appeared with fierce determination on his jaws.

Zack examined the Totodile, and laughed. "You do not think you can win with that, do you? I will show you true skills. Cyndar, go!" Like Silver, Zack threw his Pokeball on the ground, and another fierce Pokemon had stepped out of the fog.

Silver had never seen a Cyndaquil before, and flipped out his Pokedex. It's a fire type... Silver thought. He did not now what to think. The only battles he had ever fought were against normal and grass types.

"Okay, then..." Silver spoke to Makesh. "A fire type... Well water douses fire, so this should be a snap, buddy!" Makesh clamped it's jaws and braced itself.

"You can't scare me with a Totodile. I have beaten one before. Go, Cyndar! Tackle it!" Zack ordered, and the Cyndaquil charged Makesh at full speed. Silver had seen this trick before.

"Makesh, dodge, and hit it with your water gun!" Right when Cyndar was about to connect, Makesh leaped out of the way. As he was charging his water gun, the Cyndaquil did something that Silver did not expect. Almost like he had expected it, Cyndar turned around, and continued with his assault. He rammed into Makesh, and it toppeled over backwards, as it spit out some already-charged water.

"I am not that stupid, Silver! You are going to have to think a lot harder if you wish to defeat me!" yelled a triumphant Zack.

How am I going to beat this guy?

Max was at the entrance to a cave. He had sent information to Professor Elm about the egg and was now on his way. The egg had been very warm and occasionally it rocked back and forth a few times.

Max looked up at Scout who was smiling happily, and couldn't wait until they got inside. Suddenly, the Pokegear began to ring. Max reached for it and it showed Professor Elm's picture. He answered it.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Max! I have been having reports that a Golbat has been wreaking havoc inside Dark Cave! It is of different color and will attack on seeing something. I want you to defeat it, good luck." with the Professor Elm hung up.

Max gulped and looked in the Dark Cave. He slung his bag around and began to rummage through it. He soon found a lantern and a flashlight. He lit the lantern and put the flashlight in his pocket, and then he walked in to the darkness.

---

It was dark and musty inside. He had a pretty clear vision of what was going on and could see a lot of things. He was afraid of how Scout would be able to battle against the Golbat, but he had much more confidence.

"Zuuuu!" something screeched.

Max dropped the lantern at the screech and covered his ears. The lantern went out and Max dropped to his knees and began to rummage about for it. He felt something and picked it up. Feeling that it was his lantern, he tossed it aside and found his lantern under it.

It still worked thankfully and Max then regretted tossing that thing aside. It was a Zubat. Scout hopped off of her trainer's head and began bouncing from foot to foot. Max gulped and knew he had to battle it.

"Sentret use Quick Attack!" Max said.

Sentret dashed off at the Zubat. From the first time she had used Quick Attack to now she was amazingly fast. She jumped around the bat at first and then slammed her body in to it. The Zubat flew back and few feet, but regained its balance and it dove at Scout.

It smacked in to Scout but it was biting her. It looked as if it was sucking her blood, but actually it was sucking HP from her. Scout shook herself furiously to unattach the bat from her. Finally, she shook it off and leapt a little ways away.

"Quick attack to get there and then use Scratch!" Max called out.

Scout dashed away towards the Zubat. The Zubat was hanging off the cave and it now dove at her. Scout jumped out of the way right before the bat bit her again and she slashed at it. The Zubat screeched again, causing Max to clamp his hands over his ears.

The bat was lying on the cave floor gasping for breath. Scout was hopping around it in a circle so as not to get bit if it did a surprise lunge at her.

"Now use Quick Attack." Max said calming down a bit.

Scout jumped in to the air overhead of the Zubat. She curled in to a ball and plummeted to the bat. She slammed in to the bat's wing, hurting it a bit but giving herself major recoil damage.

The bat suddenly leapt at her and began to suck the HP out of her. Scout was too tired to move and was getting the HP sucked out from her. Max took his Pokedex out and read what the Pokedex had to say about the Zubat. It hated the light.

Max put the Pokedex away and began to crank up the lantern's brightness; he hadn't done so earlier because he wanted to preserve the gas in it. The Zubat screeched in agony and released Scout.

"Now Scratch!" Max said turning the brightness back down to what he had it.

Scout leapt to her feet and began to slash at the bat again. It fell to the ground completely exhausted and Max took out another one of his Pokeballs.

"Hopefully you'll be easier to catch. Go, Pokeball!" he said tossing the Pokeball at the bat.

The bat was engulfed in a red light and disappeared in to the Pokeball. It rocked back and forth for a few seconds until...

Sorry it's kind of short...
